FOREWORD 


For  the  assistance  of  teachers  and  trustees  of  rural  schools, 
who  desire  to  purchase  books  for  library  purposes,  the  following 
lists  of  titles  have  been  prepared  by  Mrs.  Theodora  R.  Brewitt, 
Librarian. 

Superintendents,  trustees,  and  teachers  may  secure  copies  of 
this  bulletin  upon  request. 

George  H.  Black, 


President. 


At  the  request  of  the  Rural  Department,  the  Librarian  has 
prepared  the  following  lists  of  book  titles.  It  is  hoped  that 
these  lists  will  be  of  assistance  to  teachers  and  trustees  of  the 
country  schools  in  enabling  them  to  more  readily  make  selections 
of  useful  books  and  to  so  purchase  them  as  to  keep  a well  balanced 
library.  It  is  suggested  that  the  expenditure  of  funds  available 
for  library  purchases  be  apportioned  as  evenly  as  possible  to  all 
classes  not  already  represented  by  books  purchased  and  in  the 
library.  Where  feasible,  the  choice  in  the  order  of  purchase  of 
any  class  has  been  indicated  by  figures,  or  by  using  a * for  the 
most  desirable. 

For  valuable  suggestions  concerning  the  cataloging  and  use 
of  school  libraries,  see  Lewiston  State  Normal  School  bulletin, 
vol.  5,  no.  1,  “School  libraries.”
